A lot of people on reddit are addicted to content. I realized this after watching people get so vitriolic in their fandoms. Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Marvel, Lord of the Rings - these are just the examples I know because I was around those circles - they all have had a point where they made something a lot of people on reddit didn't like. And instead of acknowledging that it just wasn't that great, people got nasty over it.

People on reddit are very defensive of their vices and points of view, and they feel very self-justified
